I can not wait any longer for the new Fukuoka Film Festival "Focus On Asia". I am just too excited to have the chance to be part of this event. There are just too many reasons to want to experience such a display of Art, Photography, Cinematography, Cultural exchange, Acting, Directing, etc...

These are some of the reasons why we should take part of the famous festival:

• Introducing excellent films from Asia to the entire world.
• Using film to deepen an understanding of Asia on a civic level.
• Using film to promote cultural and international exchange on a civic level.
• Discovering and fostering new talent for the film industry.

This fantastic opportunity will start on the 17 of September and it will be featuring films from all over the Asian continent and some European countries as well.
For all those film lovers, enthusiasts, Pros, amateurs, and viewers; this is a great opportunity to enjoy some of the best the film industries have to offer.
An even better fact is, that if you are a student in Japan, you can benefit from the discount and buy several packages that will help you save a lot of money and enjoy the films. To give you a better idea, please check the table below taken from the official website:
